GARDEN DESIGN: SMALL SPACE
MG RICHARD
You should come away with how to look at garden design with respect to function, your starting situation, basic principles design, irrigation and developing a landscape plan. This is a roadmap to the process, not an in-depth analysis. It starts with what do you want and what do you have, then moves to unite them in a considerate plan to accomplish your vision. It involves a hard look at reality, while being visionary.

UCANR Master Beekeeper program
The California Master Beekeeper Program (CAMBP) is a continuous train-the-trainer effort. The CAMBP’s vision is to certify Honey Bee Ambassador, Apprentice, Journey, and Master level beekeepers so they can effectively communicate the importance of honey bees and other pollinators within their communities, serve as mentors for other beekeepers, and become the informational conduit between the beekeeping communities throughout the state and UCCE staff. Explore the Certifications Page for more information.
Wondering if beekeeping is right for you? We recommend to start by asking yourself these 9 Questions to Ask Yourself Before you Start Beekeeping.
Our mission is to disseminate science-based information to stewards and ambassadors for honey bees and beekeeping. This includes local, state, and federal regulatory information like the California State Apiary Act.
We partner with the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District
